Tulita sat upon the doorstep of the
white adobe house. looking out upon the
shining waters of the bay. The sun was
sinking into the Pacific behind Point
Iona, aud the soft air was full of a
Golden haze. The Coronados islands
and the distant hills of Mexico were out
lined in purple silhouette against TIE
evening sky, and everything was still
and peaceful, everything except
Tulita's poor little heart. Her
mother had not been very well
for the last two or three days, and the
death of her father was recent enough to
cause the slightest illness to i'll Iulita
with alarmed foreboding. Then they
were so lonely, she and her mother,
with no one TO care for them, and they
were so poor; it was all very forlorn.
and they had just been crying over it to-
ge.her, they two, in the twilight. And
now, with that vague interest which the
mind after great emotion feels in trilinp
matters, Tulita sat on the doorstep and
idly watched the seG-gUlis futteripg
and squabbling over some scraps
thrown from q passing steamer.
and then her ewes followed a Jack
rabbit which Hoped across the road and
disappeared in the sage-brush then she
saw two men come along and stop at the
house next to hers. This latter incident
rather aroused her curiosity, because,
while sea-gulls and iack-rabbits were
plentiful enough i'll that neighborhood.
gentlemen were not and these appeared
to be gentlemen. Evidently from their
gestures they were inquiring for some
one but what WAS her surprise when
these gentlemen left the other house
and, coming directly TO her garden gate.
opened it and approached her.
"ls this where Mrs. Lunavarita
lives" said the elder OF the two gentle
men, as they both politely removed their
hats.

Showing the bundle OF lavender into

hung across his arm MIR. Brown left the
hotel. and with the air of man who has
nothing to do and all the day before him
he walked along the streets. Finally he
entered tall, frame building bearing
the legend FURNISHED Rooms to Let. "
Ascending to the top floor he opened the
door of what proved to be small apart
ment well filed with bed and bed
lounge, both presenting evidence OF re-
cent use. In a corner before small
looking-glass stood a weli-dressed man
of about thirty years of age, carefully
arranging a four-in-hand tie. He turned
as MIR. Brown entered, and looked at
him expectantly, but Immediately re-
sumed his occupation.
"Well, old man, he said, anything

oyercoat on the bed. The bundle of Ia

heaved u sigh of relief.
Browns puzzled expression changed
to n smile. "Oh," he said, 81 forgot

after much wearisome house bunting
they decided to fix on the first house at
all suitable that turned up. The lot fell
upon tho little Kentish village Of Down,
